As you're probably aware, Imaging Resource supports itself with the ads you see above and to the right of this story. Those are very important for us, but you can support our effort more directly by using the purchase links for our retail partners (B&H Photo, Amazon, and Adorama) on our site.

It doesn't cost you a penny extra, but buying through these links helps us continue to publish our objective camera reviews.

Unique Drawing

You've probably noticed that the pricing is often the same on many products for all three affiliates. So, if the prices are similar, why should you buy from any particular retail partner?

Our friends at B&H came up with a clever idea, available exclusively to Imaging Resource readers: If you buy from B&H using one of our links, they'll automatically enter you in a monthly drawing for a $500 gift card! Rather than entering a drawing with millions of people, you'll be competing with just a couple thousand other photographers.

There's really no downside: You'll get the same product at a very competitive price from a reseller with a great reputation for customer service. BUT you'll also get a chance at $500 credit towards your gear collection!

Steps

Make your purchase on that visit. (Returning to purchase a couple weeks after clicking to B&H won't work.)

You'll automatically be entered in that month's drawing!

This is a B&H promotion; all we're doing is encouraging you to use our purchase links. But we're thrilled that B&H is offering this great promo exclusively to our readers!

Thanks!

When you use our links to buy from our retail partners, it makes a huge difference! If we've helped you make your gear decision, would you consider helping us back, by buying through one of our links? We'd really appreciate it, and who knows? If you choose to buy through B&H, maybe you'll end up with another $500 to buy more gear with!
